3 (A) Jesus answered:
You surely must have read what David did when he and his followers were hungry. 4 (B) He went into the house of God, and then they ate the sacred loaves of bread that only priests are supposed to eat. 5 (C) Haven't you read in the Law of Moses that the priests are allowed to work in the temple on the Sabbath? But no one says they are guilty of breaking the law of the Sabbath.
